The San Antonio Spurs are a very young team. And as is often the case with young teams, they aren’t very good. The Spurs have been at the bottom of the Western Conference for the majority of the season. First-overall pick Victor Wembanyama has been sensational, but youth is youth, and the Spurs have fallen victim to that fact.
And as is the case in today’s world, losing breeds negativity. More specifically, it draws criticism from faceless figures all over social media. Whenever the Spurs lose a game, people talk about it. It unfortunately comes with the territory of having a megastar like Wembanyama on the roster.

“They don’t have to live every moment wondering what somebody is saying to them, good or bad,” Popovich said. “People don’t have to know when they go to the bathroom and eat a meal or wash their car. It shouldn’t affect their lives at all.”
If the Spurs can turn off their phones and focus on the game, they’ll be in a great spot moving forward.
